EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Parisian theatre. The image showcases the renowned mime Mevisto, gracefully performing on the stage of "La Scala" in Paris in 1891. Drawn by Percival de Luce, this exquisite piece captures the essence of Mevisto's artistry and his ability to captivate audiences with his expressive movements. The photograph transports us to a time when French theatre was at its zenith, brimming with creativity and innovation. Mevisto's presence on stage is truly mesmerizing as he effortlessly embodies various characters through his silent performance. His face painted white like a porcelain doll, he enchants spectators with his graceful gestures and exaggerated expressions. The attention to detail in this drawing is remarkable; every line meticulously etched by Luce brings out the depth of emotion conveyed by Mevisto's performance. It is evident that both artist and subject share a profound understanding of their craft. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded of the timeless allure of live performances and how they have shaped our cultural heritage. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of art in transcending language barriers and connecting people from different walks of life. Leonard de Selva has masterfully captured this moment for posterity, allowing us to appreciate not only Mevisto's talent but also the rich tapestry that was 19th-century French theatre.
